I am pretty confident it is over 2500 - but I also agree it is debatable and
2450 to 2500 is not that far from 2500-2550.  I have heard others say Hiarcs has
done well against PF2.  One I don't believe PF2 is optimized for xscale like the
Genius program is.  Secondly, the games I have seen Hiarcs vs PF2 are Game/10
minutes -- I would like to see some longer games.  Most importantly, I would
like to see Hiarcs for the PPC ( can you hear me Mark?) ;>).

BTW, I believe somebody (maybe Eric Hollingsworth or Mark Uniacke(sp?) believes
Hiarcs plays around 2580 on the fast 400 mhz T3 Palm - I believe that is
possible, but if true, than the 2450 to 2500 for PF2 is a little light IMO.
